Ni hao

That's hi in chinese! I have landed at Beijing airport and am emailing from a free email stand. Not bad....Just had a 9 hour flight to get here from Amsterdam plus another another to Amsterdam from Edinburgh. So left home at 9am Sat....My body clock is completely messed up. I am sure I should be tired and sleeping but am wide awake. Unfortunately I didn't sleep on the plane either, so will be exhausted by the time tonight comes. But first there is another plane to get. A 4hr flight to Kunming - the final destination. Thankfully I am being met by a teacher from the school and my interpreter...Although I did spend the journey on the plane revising my mandarin and trying to remember how to greet people and say basic things like yes and no....I think there is a formal dinner tonight and a tour of the city...Bright and sunny here but lots of haze and you could see all the pollution as the plane came into Beijing. On the flight also got to see lots of snowy mountains in southern Siberia. Pretty cool. Anyways...gotta catch a flight.
